I am a new user to Linux, specifically RedHat 7.0. I am amazed at the control one has over the operating system, and I wish to learn more (Don't laugh, like I said I am new.) I am looking for a place where i can get a listing of ALL linux commands. I would like to explore/play with the OS. I have searched all over, but I only can find "basic commands". I appreciate any and all help given, thank you!

*grins*

Ummmm..
man [commandname]
apropos [guess at command name]
info ....[just about anything]

I have two decent books on linux, and I just skimmed the indices to get started ... and poked my way along.

/usr/bin and /usr/sbin contain a lot of stuff that a general user can get at... look through there, man [command name] ... you can learn a lot in 4 or 5 hours that way ...


The thing is there IS no definitive listing of commands in linux. The list grows with every revision of the code, with every day .. someone somewhere is writing a new command.
